Europe's Most Historical River | The Danube | Part 1 | Journal

A river that flows through 10 countries, starting from Germany's Black Forest and ending in the Black Sea, the Danube is the second-longest river in Europe. Flowing through much of Central and South-eastern Europe, no other river in the world runs through as many countries making it so unique. Containing rich history from World War II and beyond, to offering a variety of wildlife, the Danube is truly an impressive sight. Nick Thorpe takes us on a journey up and down the Danube to explore all the greatness that it holds.
Winter in the delta. Dalmatian pelicans with their magnificent red beaks, the biggest birds in Europe, swim on the open water. We travel to Sfantu Gheorghe - the southernmost tip of the Delta, where the land ends and the Danube begins. With stunning drone photography, we explore the humour and hardness of life of the last fisherman of the delta.

The ancient Greek poet, Pindar wrote a moving, marvellous ode about an Olympic victor, alluding about how Herakles finding the sacred town of Olympia hot and bare of trees, traversed the Istros - that is, the Danube and went west to the Hyperboreans to ask them the gift of the olive tree to shade the consecrated altars and groves of Zeus. With the same vein the German poet Hölderlin also called the Danube the Ister. Such beautiful poems. Unfortunate how Old Europe has strayed so far, far from its roots... Truly, "a sign is needed." Thank you for providing this documentary to be available. Greetings from the Philippines.

Because America isn't all it's cut out to be, sure we have freedom but at what cost. I was born in Texas but I would love to live by the ocean
